I'm on a legacy server(not a legacy player though, my brother is) and I can definitely understand the restrictions. He is WAY ahead of me in everything it's not even funny. I'm a pretty "casual" player (a couple hours a day) , but I consider it to be a good amount. Even if you were to go with the "well you only get to transfer with 3mil" reason, how hard would it be to just buy out the expensive endgame items that sell for millions and just bring them over to the newer server. Just cause they restrict gil doesn't mean there isn't ways around it.
